SPOILER - click to open/close || Installation environment and HowTo
The only reasonable way to work with a VPSserver on the web is using the console.If you are not familiar with that don't worry, it is easy and the only thing you have to do is being able to copy/paste the commands displayed:
¡
Copy/paste only the codeBoxes like this one, located outside of the spoilers of this tutorial one after another without altering the sequence!Of course it is necessary to change the specific file names and passwords for you indiviual site, but that's all. promise!
On the console you wont be able to copy/paste with the keyboard ctrl-C/ctrl-V technique, you'll have to use the mouse "right click, chose option" technique.
This tutorial was created on a #debian #linux desktop environment.
There shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.
The method used for communication between your local computer and the VPS server is called #SSH:
Wikipedia - Secure Shell:
"Cryptographic network protocol for secure data communication, remote shell services or command execution and other secure network services between two networked computers."

friendica VPS setup on ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Hi,
I'm working on my first #friendica #VPS installation, here you'll find my initial post about general thoughts like what distro to use, size and costs.
I'm using the tutorial "creating a friendica server - ubuntu" by @Hank G ☑️.As of now I'm doing well in the process and want to start this post to document differences and questions while installing the server.
This server is going to host an already existing friendica node I have to move from another hosting provider. That means that for example the DB doesn't have to be created from scratch but moved and other smaller details.
I will try to address the different steps of installation in answers to this post and appreciate help, ideas and observations.
I'm doing this from a #linux desktop environment from the console but there shouldn't be differences if you want to do this from a #windows machine.

friendica installation on the VPS hosting

Up to this point we basically performed a standard LAMP installation on a ubuntu 22.04 LTS VPS hosting.
The following steps concern the actual friendica server installation.
creating the directory for friendica and the user www-data
creat directories and permission for user www-data

¡IMPORTANT!
The following command and setting should only be used if you are on a clean brand new ubuntu VPS setup as it will or at least might meddle with your already existing web page setups as @tom s politely pointed out:
"This would damage a lot of (server) installations out there. Do not do this in /var/www, if you are not really sure, what you're doing."
rootname@VPShosting:~#
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/wwwrootname@VPShosting:~#
cd /var/wwwcreating user www-data and changing from user rootname to www-data
rootname@VPShosting:~/var/www#
sudo -u www-data bashwww-data@VPShosting:~$
(confirmation check if this is where console changes to www-data@VPShosting:~#)
moving (deactivating) the old /html folder
www-data@VPShosting:~$
mv html html.bakThe new /html folder will be created when we clone the gitHub stable branch of friendica in the next step.
cloning friendica from the gitHub repository
